Toronto Blue Jays Interested in Teoscar Hernandez

Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins confirmed the team's strong interest in reuniting with free agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez during baseball's winter meetings. Hernandez, a fan-favorite who spent six seasons in Toronto, had a standout year with the Dodgers, hitting 33 home runs and contributing to their World Series win. This interest comes after the Blue Jays missed out on superstar Juan Soto, making Hernandez a more viable and cost-effective option. While Hernandez was previously linked to a potential deal with the Dodgers, ongoing gaps in those negotiations could provide the Blue Jays with an opportunity. The Red Sox are also reported to be considering Hernandez if they do not secure Soto, adding to the competitive landscape for the slugger's signature this offseason. Hernandez's return could address a significant gap in the Blue Jays' lineup after their struggles in the last season.
